United States v. Andino-Rodriguez, No. 20-2129 (1st Cir. 2023)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed the judgment of the circuit court convicting Defendants of drug conspiracy crimes for their roles in a drug-trafficking case, holding that Defendants were not entitled to relief on their allegations of error.
After a joint jury trial, co-defendants Katerin Martinez-Alberto and Alexandria Andino-Rodriguez were convicted for their roles in an underlying trafficking venture. The First Circuit affirmed, holding (1) any error in the trial court's evidentiary rulings was harmless; (2) there was no plain error in the jury instructions; and (3) the trial court did not commit clear error in determining that Andino-Rodriguez did not carry her burden to demonstrate she was entitled to the downward adjustment she sought.
